2 – Electrical Operation

This procedure checks electrical operation of the ATS.

Be sure to close the enclosure door before proceeding to prevent personal injury in case of electrical system fault.

Transfer Test

The ATS should still be bypassed. Both normal and emergency sources must be available and the emergency source generator (if used) must be capable of being started; put engine starting control in automatic position. The Transfer Switch Connected to Normal light and the Normal Source Accepted light should be on.

1.Turn the Isolation Handle counterclockwise to the TEST position.

NOTE: The engine generator may be signalled to start while turning the Isolation Handle. If emergency source is available, the ATS may operate to the emergency position. If it does, operate Retransfer Delay Bypass switch.

2.Perform steps 1–5 at right. Observe the status lights.

QBlack square means light is on. S White square means light is off.

3.Turn the Isolation Handle clockwise to the CONN (connected) position.

4.Push in the Bypass Handle and turn it counterclock- wise to the OPEN position.

This completes the Functional Test of the ATB.

Transfer switch will operate back to Normal position after Feature 3A time delay. For im- mediate retransfer turn Transfer

4Control counterclockwise to Retransfer Delay Bypass. The Transfer Switch Connected To Normal light should come on; Transfer Switch Connected to Emergency light should go off.

The engine–generator will stop after the Feature 2E time delay

5(unloaded running engine cool- down). The Emergency Source Accepted light should go off.

7ATB specifications

The Emerson 7ATB represents a significant advancement in underwater technology designed for deepwater exploration and data collection. This innovative submersible vehicle is engineered to perform a range of tasks, from scientific research to natural resource exploration, while ensuring safety and efficiency in performance.

One of the standout features of the 7ATB is its robust design, capable of withstanding extreme pressures found at significant ocean depths. The submersible is made from high-strength materials that not only protect its internal components but also reduce weight for enhanced maneuverability. Its streamlined shape minimizes drag, allowing for efficient navigation through the underwater environment.

The 7ATB is equipped with state-of-the-art sensor technology. This includes multi-beam sonar for accurate mapping of the seafloor and advanced imaging systems that capture high-resolution, real-time images and video. The incorporation of in-situ chemical sensors enables the vehicle to analyze water quality and detect various substances, making it invaluable for environmental monitoring.

A key characteristic of the Emerson 7ATB is its advanced autonomy capabilities. The submersible can operate independently for extended periods through automated navigation and mission planning. This autonomy is supported by sophisticated algorithms that allow it to maneuver efficiently and avoid obstacles while performing pre-programmed tasks. Furthermore, it boasts a flexible payload system, accommodating a variety of instruments tailored to specific missions.

In terms of communication, the 7ATB employs a hybrid system that combines acoustic and satellite technologies to maintain a reliable link with the control center, even in remote locations. This ensures real-time data transmission, enabling scientists and operators to make informed decisions during operations.

The vehicle also features battery technology designed for extended operational life, reducing the need for frequent retrieves. This efficiency not only enhances productivity but also minimizes the logistical challenges often associated with deep-sea missions.

Overall, the Emerson 7ATB is a remarkable combination of durability, advanced technology, and operational efficiency, positioning it as a go-to solution for underwater exploration and research in challenging environments. Its innovative features set a new standard for submersible vehicles, revolutionizing how we explore and understand the ocean depths.
